the same dome
the same aluminium base

a friends was involved in a defense contractor shutting down
and this was the throw away

10 bucks

i was way back before the time
in regards to indoor climbing

the few in the industry
were having to deal with their resins eating their molds
so they had to replace them often

id figured out a concrete mix that was much more less corosive

but the weights of them made the shipping exorberant
and that was that

cept for a couple dozen people who still my hundreds of originals

they were praised because they were so cool to the touch
as compared to what was and is the line then and today

Their passive closed loop extractors are also very interesting.

What would have been the intended use for that ben?

Back in the early 80's I worked as a carpenter on an Enviromental Protection Agency facility and helped myself to all sorts of lab aparatus and chemicals without really having any knowledge of safehandlng, msds, etc...

id thought about getting back in last year
drilling a plate out
figured i could use some of the 10 inches diameter pvc i got on hands

cut it off several inches tall

them use a big sander to make sure the ends were flat
put a gauge in the top to show the vacuum it was achieving

figured i could just use a sheet of plexy on top
and that goop to make it work

has somebody already figuered out how pornographic the thread title is ...

Dick, things havent changed much, a buddy of mine worked at a chem refilling facility, got fired or quit, bc the company was deaf when it was about health ... no masks, no overalls, no pollution checks (human) ... cheap workers, savings on every level of work ... and it wasnt just "normal" chems, biolgically active chems / bacteria ... the stuff where the biohazard sign stems off

I did a couple of dabs tonight and it has become incredibly sticky.
It is on parchment paper and I am keeping it in the freezer.
I bought a hot air gun to make it harder but I might just put up with the stickiness.
